Lewsey: Gatland is the best in the world

British & Irish Lions head coach Warren Gatland is the best at his job in the whole world – according to World Cup winner Josh Lewsey.

Lewsey is the Welsh Rugby Union’s new head of rugby and has backed the Wales head coach’s meticulous preparation.

Gatland led the Lions to victory in Australia last summer, the first time the tourists have won a series for 16 years.

And with a World Cup coming up next year, Lewsey is excited about what Wales can bring to the table under the Kiwi’s leadership.

“Arguably, he is one of the most successful coaches in the world and he's got a proven track record of delivering when it matters most,” said Lewsey.

“That mental edge, of knowing how to win and doing the right thing at the right time.

“You've got to back our guys as we've got, arguably, the best coach in the world in charge.”
